[meteorite-list] not to sell samples of the new impactite layer, but ...

The content of E.P.'s public repetition of unbridled
"I told you so" exultation leading toward
commdification just proved his inauthentic motives.
Immediately, once another's research opens a new
exploitable market, you preemptively stake your claim
in/of commandeered discourse. Hibbens "muck" has not
been demonstrated to have any relationship to the YD
sediments recently described
(http://www.agu.org/meetings/sm07/sm07-sessions/sm07_PP41A.html
;

;http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/summary/316/5829/1264?rss=1)
At least your exposure of the information about these
irridium-enriched desposits itself can prevent you
from monopolizing the initially available supply of YD
impact fallout sediments.
 
YD impactities are probably microscopic, so dust,
Grondine, is what you get - think Tunguska.
